    I put new headlight bulbs in a few days ago. I had a hard time getting the assembly to "look right" when I put the headlight back in. I can stick my finger above the light and under the hood on the drivers side. What am I doing wrong?

    Both plastic tabs on the headlight are inside the metal bracket right??

    Otherwise alot of cars have that gap, low quality design.

    Picture? You only replaced the bulbs and now you have a big gap? I'd compare it to the other side and see if anything looks different. If not then there's adjusters for aiming them. Maybe something got knocked out of place while working on them.

    The gap was there before, but I could not get the assembly back in so it "looked right". Still can't seem to see $hit to the sides, but I can see better forward with the new BP9007SL2's I got from Napa. They replaced some Phillips Crystalvisions?
